    What drove BG3's success, game mechanics or emotional engagement?

    This argument was always nothing but fantasy of gaem journalists. Same as 2d dead 3d bettar Fucking pokemon is turn based and it always sold buckets.

    World design isn't optional. By making more things in game optional, you are just making a not game.

    While there is no 1 right way to make rpg, i think quest markers just deconstruct whole roleplaying and game design on fundamental way. World designer doesn't have to make world believable, think how people and things move around, put hints of people activity at places (visually show that is...

    Baldur's Gate Larian is moving away from D&D, no BG3 DLC or BG4

    Wotc reputation atm is such that long term it might be better for rpg dev to keep distance from them

    Owlcat's next game is an AAA title that will need full voice acting to compete with BG3

    It may be good experience for them. Owlcats are sick with graphomania and working under limit and planning all dialogue and making it more laconic and to the point is what they need. Might also cut on amount of shit romances. Honestly the power of word is given and taken by vidya game writers...

    How many hours did you clock in on Skyrim?

    I just clocked some hours in skyrim home of nords morrowind mod and with its outdated engine and modders hiccups it still gets skyrim better than skyrim. Instead of killing hagravens and bloodthirsty celtic savages you can do quests for them. There is city split between brutal nord qwan and...

    I think achivos might be interesting carrot to hang about undiscovered obscure shit in the game, i did look them up for aod and pathfinder. Don't know how good can it be to hint player they can finish game by killing Vivec or whatever

    Tbh jeff at that ancient interview writes his name at the end cause nickname at the top is not enough. He is not from generation that has skills needed to survive online. Tim also can't handle 2 mean comments from 100 positive ones to the point of making reply video on them

    Tbh modern rage hate train witch hunting culture is too dangerous for a nerdy awkward introvert developer to be any kind of public figure It's too one dimensional, ie you can rage on creatorz but they can't tell gamers that they are dumbfuck consumers that don't understand at all how industry...

    There are always people who know less than you. I bet it's more about legal issues.

    Yet Another Morrowind Thread

    I had similar opinion, and still see most of it as bloat and modders self undulgence, but finally after ~20 years something in design changed. Newest content plays closer to indie morrowind and everything is tighter instead of gigalarger. It is amusing that it took so long for them to produce...

    Yet Another Morrowind Thread

    After initial MODERS MODDERS MODDERS old ebonheart somewhat grew on me. Some daggerfall or g2 khorinis vibes maybe, or because it has cnc. Fighters guild with backtracking and reporting is asinine, but mage guild is nice, i only began thiaf guild. Legion was eeeh Imperial cult asked in first...

    Incline Colony Ship RELEASE THREAD

    I only played beta but i think in terms of writing it's also bad timing. In aod era being edgy was cool, but as we all get older and closer to turning to dust, all asshole approach looks shallower by the day. It's same in all media. People want the return of escapism, and also hopeful and noble...

    Yet Another Morrowind Thread

    The modders are hilariously lazy with directions tho. I counted times where: 1 a famous area is not marked on map even tho it would make sense as it can be marked and there is no topic for it. 1.2 signposts aren't fully realized 2 you are not given directions to said area 3 you are given complex...
